The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) investigates the
causes of diseases of the nervous system and develops strategies for pre­ven­tion,
treatment and care. It is an institution within the Helmholtz Association
of German Research Centres with nine sites across Germany (Berlin, Bonn,
Dresden, Göttingen, Magdeburg, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald, Tübingen and
Witten). The DZNE cooperates closely with universities, their clinics and other
research facilities.

The DZNE in Bonn offers a position as

Postdoctoral researcher (f/m)Code 1474/2017/6

within the group of Dr. Ehninger at the DZNE site Bonn.

Our group is interested in molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute
to neuropsychiatric and aging-associated disorders. To this end, we employ
mouse models and multidisciplinary experimental approaches that combine
behavioral neuroscience tools with genomics and epigenomics, biochemistry,
molecular and cell biology, as well as neurophysiology. The group is also interested
in translating findings from preclinical models to human popula­tions.

Your profile:
We look for highly motivated and initiative individuals with a recent MD and/or
PhD degree. Individuals with backgrounds in neuroscience/related areas
of biology (e.g., neurobiology, molecular biology, behavioral neuroscience,
neurophysiology or in vivo imaging), epigenomics or bioinformatics are particularly
encouraged to apply. Fluency in English, good communication skills
and capacity for teamwork are necessary.

We offer:

An interesting and challenging task in a research center that works on the
future topics of health research

An international environment characterized by a strong focus on science
and research

You will obtain special skills and knowledge for your scientific qualification
during your activities at DZNE. The DZNE is an equal opportunity employer.
The DZNE especially welcomes and encourages disabled individuals to apply.
